The Death-bed Scene.
New York telegram.)

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher died at
$3.50 o'clock Tuesday morning surrounded
by all the members of his family except
those for whom distance or sickness made
1t impossible to reach his bedside.
S. V. White and +. A. Seacomb of
Plymouth Church and Maj. j. b. Pond
were also present when deaths summons
came. The family had been summoned to
the death bed early in the morning by DIR.
Searle, who detected the signs of rapidly
approaching dissolution. At about a. m.
Mr.. s. V. White announced to those gath
cred before the house that the end was
very near, and even then the sobs OF the
sorrowing family could be heard all through
the house. At $3.50 o'clock Dr. Searle, who
had been holding one of Mr.. Beecher's
hands, said: MIR. Beecher is no more; he
is dead"
1t is difficult to describe the scene at this
moment. Notwithstanding the fact that his
death was looked for, that it had been ex-
pected hourly, it seemed to come with
such crushing force that the family were
completely prostrated with grief. They
could not bring themselves to the sad re-
alization that the kindly voice of the
husband, father, and grandfather was
forever hushed in death, and that
they had only the remembrance of
his kind admonitons. Mrs. Beecher, who
had borne up so brayely from the first, and
who had watched so constantly at the bed
side Of her dying husband, was utterly
broken down, and when supported by her
son Harry, as she tottered from the room,
looked as if it would not be long before
she would follow her beloved husband.

REMARKING upon the fact that some
engineers still use tallow as q cylinder
lubricant, writer in a mechanical
journal asserts that they do so at the
risk of destroying the surfaces of valve
seats, piston rings, and even the cylin-
der itself; this arising from the nature
of tallow, which is compound of sew
eral fatty acids, oleic, stearic, margaric,
ETC., it is enormously supposed that
pure grease is the base of all tallow,
and that the acids, so-called, are in
some way incorporated in the process
OF rendering, but the fact is that no
system of refining can eliminate the
acid without destroying or neutralizing
the grease itself, in measure saponi-
flying or turning it into soap. Again,
clear suet is often used, but this does
not remedy the evil, the danger to sur
faces still remaining; the steam heat
decomposes the tallow or suet, and sets
free, or renders active, the fatty acids
with the results set forth. The only
value in tallow as lubricant, accord
ing to this writer, lies in its heavy
body, which permits it to remain in
contact with surfaces under pressure,
but the same object can be obtained
with mineral oils that are free from
adulteration with animal fats, and this
accounts for their increasing introduc-
ton.

illness. DR.. Searle made the following
statement in regard to the distinguished di-
vines last hours:
Mr.. Beecher began TO fail decidedly at
3 o'clock Tuesday morning. His respira-
tion was rapid. At o'clock the family was
summoned. Death came slowly and stealth
lily. His respirations gradually became
faster and faster until they reached sixty q
minute. His pulse was variable and often
reached 140. He still remained in the same
condition except as to breathing, his eyes
closed, and he was entirely unconscious.
The motions of the right arm became less
frequent, and were finally stopped almost
entirely. About 8 o'clock in the morning
we could detect the first symptoms of i'm
mediate death. His pulse ran up still
higher, tiickered, and fluctuated until 9:28,
two minutes before his death. His pulse
ceased almost entirely at the wrist,
being so faint that it could hardly
be detected, and then stopped alto
gether. There was a rattle in his throat,
painful to those around him, but un-
felt by him owing TO the failure of the
nerve center of the respiratory organs, to-
gether with the failure of the hearts action.
His death was very easy, as painless if not
as pleasant as death from suffocation or by
drowning is said TO be-"

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
sketch of His I.ifa-

1t is half a century ago since Henry Ward
Beecher, then boyish-looking and aged "a
years, preached his first sermon, and his
maiden effort was delivered before an ex-
tremely orthodox congregation of Presby-
terians in a little white frame church at
Lawrenceburg, Ind. It is probable that
from the first he gave great promise, for.
after remaining in Lawrenceburg for only
two years, we find him promoted in 1889 to
much better position in indianapolis,
where he remained several years, and
where he first attracted national attention.
His Presbyterian beliefs seem to have
gradually become weaker during this time,
and in 1847, his indianapolis congregation
becoming convinced that he was wandering
into forbidden paths and inclined to over
turn well-established dogmas, il be-
came necessary that he should
find another and more liberal flock.
Plymouth Congregational Church in
Brooklyn wanted pastor, and Mr.
Beecher was taken on trial. He pleased
the congregation so well that he was soon
installed as regular pastor, and from that
day to this he and Plymouth Church have
been so closely identified with each other
that IL is impossible almost 10 think OF a
time when he was not the regular occupant
OF its pulpit.
Mr.. Beecher came from one of the most
remarkable and most talented American
families the same family which has given
rs Charles and Edward Beecher and Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe. He was the fourth
son OF the eminent DIR. Lyman Beecher.
and received most Of his theological train
ing at Lane Seminary, near Cincinnati, O..
under his fathers eye. He was born nj
Litch6eld, Conn.,, June "a, 1913, and after
attending some public Latin schools en-

Pastor, Author and

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was stricken
with apoplexy at his home in Brooklyn on
Saturday, March 8, and fingered until the
following Tuesday, when death relieved
him of his sufferings. During these three
days the great preacher lay in comatose
condition, surrounded by the members Of
his family and physicians. His faithful wife
was by his bedside almost continuously
from the hour he was stricken by the fatal

AN experimenter mentions his sue
cessful experience in drilling holes
three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter
through glass plates about one-eighth
OF an inch thick, by the use of an or
dinary bow drill, with spirits of turpen-
tine as lubricant. The holes were
drilled from one side until the point of
the drill just punctured the opposite
side of the glass; then the glass was
turned over and the holes finished by
drilling from the opposite side.

His Desire Was to Continue Preaching.
[Bismarck Dak.) special,

When Henry Ward Beecher stopped
here on his Northwestern lecture tour three
years ago he said in one interview in an
swer to the question as to when he in
tended retiring from the pulpit and the
lecture field: Il intend to preach for fifteen
years, for believe that q retirement from
active work would hasten DEATH" He
further stated that in his opinion IL his
father had not retired when he did he would
have lived fifteen years longer. When
here Mr.. Beecher was accompanied by
j. b. Pond, the business manager OF the
tour, and Pond told many interesting
stories of the pranks and evidences of
youthful humor of the great divine. Among
other things he gave representative Of a
Bismarck paper note written by Mr..
Beecher while in jamestown. Mr.. Beecher
had been annoyed along his journey by in
vitations and demands for him to preach,
and going into Ponds room at the hotel in
jamestown he wrote the following:
"DEAR SIR-You ask me to preach for
you. am q lecturer, not preacher; you
have barked up the wrong tree. I'll be
id before shall preach for you.

The note was written by Mr.. Beecher and
left on Mr.. Ponds table.
